Morning Pan. Retrieved the daughter from camp yesterday. She had a great week. This will be a weekend of recovery.
Naturally, I start of by getting caught up on Colbert. This is one of the funniest segments he’s ever done. My fellow 30somethings should greatly enjoy this.

And, of course, the ending:

Me thinks Cookie Monster is going to need to eat some serious fiber after that one.
Weird:

An idea for a b-movie monster though.
Morning Pan! Finished Mass Effect last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
EssBee- Understanding Donnie Darko really requires multiple viewings. And the directors cut.
But mainly just the directors cut. They added this whole chapter thing with short passages from the book and it explained a great deal. Its a lot like what they did with Southland Tales, except it actually worked in Donnie Darko’s case. There’s a lot less going on in that movie.
Dub, since you’re on line… Go to last weeks posts. I have some things to say about you hating us Cdns.
:)
In the words of Stephen Lautens (http://tinyurl.com/4tj22k)
“My philosophy is, if you don’t believe in gay marriage, then don’t marry someone of the same sex. It’s not like it’s mandatory. ”
I think I like that quote :)
Currently listening to The Chillcast episode 117.
All brazillian muzak..
Russia just beat Holland in the Euro 2008, Adam Curry will be pissed.
Maybe he got pissed while watching the match…
A/C dead in truck… I wish it was Deadpan… it would still be fucking hot but at least it would be funny.
That doesn’t sound good at all, Trucker. That brain working overdrive on content and phone calls musta pushed it beyond capacity :)
The wife and I watched “Jumper” today while doing some chores. Southland Tales was more coherent.
Jumper had such potential, yet was so poorly executed. I’ve never read the book, so I don’t know if the source material is any better…..though it’s hard to imagine it could be worse.
I think I’ve just about decided that Firefox 3 + del.icio.us = web browsing nirvana. Your mileage may vary.
I haven’t got round to playing with del.icio.us
“Get Smart” was actually worth the ticket. Very fun, and you need not have seen the original series to enjoy it. There were really only a few in-jokes with the original…
checking in …
Surprised to see that no one followed up Trucker’s unfortunate news with the comment …
“AC/DCeased”
You’re not all going and getting tasteful are you?
Cold ham and pineapple pizza…mmmmmmmmmm!
Ed I would like to think that it’s my brain working in overdrive. It’s something idea what I should be writing.
Can we get a rimshot for Justa Joe.
They’re sharing a pod cast called deadpan but it’s better deadpanning alone.
Well fuck.

George Carlin went to school with my dad and uncles in The Bronx.
Just saw that on the news this morning.

Morning, Pan.
Thanks for the link, Ed. I love George.
Yeah. :(
I remember listening to his comedy albums in the 70s.
:( from me too.
goodbye George.

If they had just nicknamed the Higgs boson ‘slippery sid’ instead of ‘The God Particle’ the world would be a safer place.
Naw, paranoid maniacs would still find some way to tout it as the end of the world. I remember the wingnuts coming out back in 84? claiming the planetary alignment was going to rip the earth to pieces.
“Morons! Your bus is leaving!”
“Finished with my woman cause she couldn’t help me with my mind
People think Im insane because I am browning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think Ill lose my mind if I don’t find something to pacify”
“I’m sick and tired of hearing things
from uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites.
All i want is the truth.
Just give me some truth.”
“I fall down just to give you a thrill
Prop me up with another pill
If I should fail, if I should fold
I nailed my faith to the sticking pole”
I think you’ll find truth over in the cosmetics department.
Or was it on the Depends aisle? I can never remember.
Shouldn’t that be the cosmic department?
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
“Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry”
Sounds like an average day on the Dead Pan. LOL
ditto: Awesome! I love Exile.
Well, one man’s deadpan is everyone’s deadpan.
That’s rather Platonic, Ed. ;)
Far too much metal in those.
Another awesome Scalzi post:
http://scalzi.com/whatever/?p=912
There’s no such thing as “too much metal.”
Actually Rhett — there is.

But hey, it’s always nice to find good reviews:
http://writingeveryday.wordpress.com/2008/06/17/the-unsolvable-death-trap/
Nice review Jack. Congratz.
Yea, Manowar. LOL
Congrats, Jack!

So now playing on the TV is David Hasslehof playing Nick Fury…the horror, the horror.
Look away, Van!
Over the weekend, we saw 3 DVDs: Untraceable, National Treasure, and National Treasure 2.
Untraceable was horrific. Really and truly, don’t watch it.
The National Treasure movies were fun — I’d seen them both before.
We’re now watching Eureka on DVD, trying to get caught up.
ditto – nice use of the Sam Phillips
Rhett – Re: There’s no such thing as “too much metal.â€
I would think that depends on the delivery system.
Jack – we’re not worthy.
*over*
Is Manowar the exception that proves the rule?
No I really don’t know what that means either.
Congrats, Jack!
That’s a big 10-4, justa J0e, except for the “not worthy” malarkey.
What’s been your 20 lately, over?
Thanks guys. Of all my crap, that one might be my favorite.
So ok ok – if you haven’t heard “Defender” by Manowar, feat. Orson Welles’ vocal talents (yep), then you must. You must devote 6 minutes to this. It is possibly the most perfect of all 80s metal cheese. Complete with unbearably superhokey album cover

Yeouch!
Well with that, why not some more punishment? http://youtube.com/watch?v=cG4eBwlOwpw
Still more you say? Can a invented cartoon metal band push the boundaries a little? Yes. Yes it can. LOL

No more, pppllllllleeeeeeeeaaaasssssseeeee…my brain is melting.

Fight proud, my son.
You’re the Defender. . . . God. . . . has sent. . .
Morning, Deadpan!
Morning Pan!
Bunny has caught something really nasty so don’t expect to see much of her the next few days. I plan on spending as much time as possible under the covers of a nice warm bed.
Get well soon TEB.

Van, that article is interesting in light of the world thinking about George Carlin this week.
Children will be damaged by the sight of two men kissing!

Hope you feel better soon, TEB!
When I look at the picture, I’m certainly not thinking Wiimote.
http://gizmodo.com/5019093/conceptual-wiimote-in-2010-mixes-fantasy-with-more-fantasy
Seems like a natural progression for the Wiimote. I imagine it will get some sort of “rumble” feature too.
I was thinking the same thing, Rhettro. ;)
*buying a Wiimote*
LOL

Maybe I’ll check those links when I’m not at work. LOL
Installed Firefox 3 last night and I am extremely pleased. Quite an improvement in speed and features from 2.
Same here, Rhett.
I suppose I should get FF3 one of these days.
So I actually had a drink with Evo Terra last night at the Four Peaks brewery. That’s about all there is to this story. I hadn’t seen him since last year.
Interesting. I emailed him a couple of weeks ago and he mentioned the need to share a beer sometime. As it turns out, my kids are visiting the grandparents in Kansas until July 8th and Teresa is flying out to Kansas July 2nd to spend the holiday with them. So I’ll be free for much debauchery over the 4th of July. :) Perhaps I should get a beer with Evo.
I’ve been enjoying my new guitar amp, but it lacks the reverb function of my old digital one. Having done a little research, I’m really digging the sound samples of the Line 6 Verbzilla. Sound clips available here:http://tinyurl.com/4oovjm
Problem is, everyone is out of stock and it’s backordered until July 21st. :(
I may try the Scottsdale Guitar Center to on the off chance they have one. Or I could call first. LOL
Okay what are the added features of FF3?
I obviously don’t use a browser to it’s full potential, as apart from the change in the look or of FF3, I’m not noticing any big differences to FF2.
I used FF3 for a grand total of 15 minutes last night, so I’m not familiar with all the new features. LOL But speed comes first to mind. It loads pages a lot faster than FF2 and feels snappier over all. If you type the URL in the address window FF3 will start to guess what address you want and start displaying choices, but beyound just the address, it displays the site name as well. There’s a new tab for most visited sites that is pretty cool. Those are the features I noticed.
Yeah I noticed that, just wasn’t that impressed.
I’ll go and flog myself later for penance.
I guess it’s a case of different keystrokes for different folks.
Well it’s still better than IE7 for most things.
I actually preferred IE7 to FF2, but with the speed improvements in FF3, it’s my top choice now.
FF3 FTW.
I also just downloaded Songbird. Its pretty sweet. I am actually posting from it right now. When you go to a site with music links it shows a list at the bottom of all of them, and download buttons.
I dig it.

It’s amazing that retail DVD rental places are still hanging on. Does anyone still go out to the video store for a movie?
Fly Away (acoustic) – Lenny Kravitz
Jack – I went to my rental place (Showtime Video) to get Southland Tales and it had been so long since I’d been there that they wouldn’t let me take a movie out until I filled out a new membership card. It looked like they were surviving mainly on game rentals.
Killing the Blues – Robert Plant and Alison Kraus
You know it’s weird, come to think of it. Ever since the move to AZ and the switch to Netflix, I haven’t rented a single DVD from Blockbuster etc. I kind of miss it in a way. Browsing DVDs like books in a library gives a sort of viseral connection to the media.
Speaking of browsing, this is really cool for books:
http://zoomii.com/#
Actually, we have Blockbuster’s online plan and we get to turn in our from-the-mail movies at the store to get free in store rentals. So, we’re stopping buy about once a week or so.
But, Eraserhead remains at the top of my queue and has been there waiting for fulfillment for three months at least.
Speaking of bad hair. . .
I so do not miss NJ:

Hey that’s not cool posting a link to a Goatse without any prior warning.
That link is actually worksafe, just unsafe for our species.
He looks like Anthony Soprano after a bad scare.
Jack – You’ll be happy to know that, according to my local library, the government has placed the Deadpan “off limits”.
This is the message I got while trying to access the Deadpan from my local public Library today. GITMO here we come!
